Fukuyama writes that he is not concerned with policy; his book is about the principles of liberalism. That is too bad, because it prevents him from wrestling with the contradictions of classical liberalism. In historical terms, classical liberalism’s embrace of individual and property rights after the Glorious and American Revolutions meant liberals saw no problem with slavery, with women treated not just as second-class citizens, but as property. Classical liberalism collapsed in the twentieth century because abolitionists, suffragists, and labor unions pointed out these contradictions, which made free-market ideology the lingering feature of classical liberalism. In rejecting the notion that illiberalism is produced from liberalism, Fukuyama ignores how the two are concurrent—how liberalism can tolerate inequality to the point that it will undo its principles.

"El Fin de la Historia" de Francis Fukuyama
¿Tú qué opinas? ¿Los conflictos étnicos y económicos son escenciales de las democracias liberales?
Fukuyama sugiere que con el colapso del comunismo y la Guerra Fría, la humanidad habría alcanzado el fin de su evolución ideológica. La democracia liberal representaría el sistema político final y ya no habrían desarrollos significativos más allá de este punto en términos de estructuras políticas. “El Fin de la Historia” de Francis Fukuyama, fue publicado en 1989. Los Argumentos…

I deliberately browse tags like "discourse" "neg" "drama" and stuff just to read a bunch of different (mostly bad) takes but yours are so atrocious I need to consider that acc satire for my sanity
Putin is Winnie the Pooh. Joe Biden would make a great indie-folk singer. Donald "The Hands" Drumpf resurrected Black Mirror for a 5th and final season. People "hyuck" in real life and (we're going to cut this conversation short). Everything is a tool. If you dare to you can juggle the phantom essence of whatever it is your heart desires. Purple Hearts turning Yellow is Bad. "Wokeness" is post-re-post-co-optedcoremode. Stealing to survive sucks. Every middle class white American teenager--even if they have sunken--should be forced to attend to Iraq for at least, like, a summer. God wants you to die (but not for the reasons you would immediately assume!).
Shit I think that's like every take I've got.
Here wait...
Everybody all says they got the best cocaine. You know someone once told me that they loved this drug dealer as a person, as a human. But as a drug dealer. The dude was a used car salesman. You get? Are we all so different? (No, duh)

Fukuyama's End of History and the Last Man is kind of a wild book because it doesn't surprise in one sense that it's written by a State Department employee in the pol-sci/international relations wing of the American foreign policy aristocracy Unlike, I dunno, what mid-century French political writing I've mostly bounced off of, it's not fascinated by abstractions for their own sake and is immanently concerned with practical political questions of design and realpolitik. It has the aspirations to cool objective analysis of some high modernist policy thing.
But at the same time, it cannot hide its own nature as an almost mystical work.
Like claiming that liberal democracy is the terminus of human political evolution but using freaking Hegel to argue this and not particularly disowning the mystical shit. Almost like those really weird euro-Marxist writings that claim class relations in light of how the economy is factored bring consciousness itself into being, or that the spirit of the working class is literally guiding history like some kind of political godhead.
Except in (Fukuyama 93)'s case, the spirit of humanity's salvation seems to be freaking Clintonism and McDonalds energy spreading isothymia and freedom to all.

We can't be at the end of history, can we? People act like there's an air of finality about everything that's happening, as if we're rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic to pass the time before the inevitable. Prices go up, wages go down, our leaders fail us on purpose just as often if not moreso than on accident, things get worse and worse and worse, but surely they have to get better eventually. Human history has had countless ups and downs, but the downs can't last forever, can they? Something's gotta give. Something's gotta change. Our future can't possibly be this stagnant. There's no way our civilization peaked in the middle of the 20th century. I really hope we're not in the back nine. What are the odds that it's all half over?

a concerning amount of witchblr will be like "um actually new years was stolen by europeans from the ancient god scroobus mcdoobus" and then you actually try to research scroobus mcdoobus and it turns out he was invented in the 1940s by a conspiracy theorist who powdered every meal with ketamine and thinks that queer people are reincarnated fish

just no other way (i know another way)
i sometimes want to punish you for my cynicism, even though i drew false conclusions. i think i know everything, but i lie to myself all the time. i'm not dependent. (i would go insane.) this has nothing to do with what i deserve. (i'm probably trying to prove something.) i understand and feel no bitterness. (how could you?)

The Next Great War: The End of History and the Last Hegemon
Join me this week as I explore the competition between the US, China, and Russia, the battle for hegemony, and the potential for a great power war. Let’s also unpack the inability of academia to challenge great power revisionism together. Don’t miss out!
In the field of international relations, still marked by the memories of the great power wars from the first half of the previous century, the focus is primarily on understanding international conflict. This focus is particularly sharp when it comes to conflicts between great powers, as these are the actors that establish order within the system[1].  In this perspective, states are like…

The fact that the Boston transit system has been a garbage fire for so long that our mascot is a sad little man who is literally stranded on the train until the end of time due to a fare increase. Charlie's desiccated corpse has been riding this train since the 1940s and everyone just sort of rolls with it it this point

End Of History by n-n
IFDB - English Version - Spanish Version Note: the English version was submitted to Le Grand Guignol category, the Spanish to La Petite Mort. I only played the English version properly.
Summary: An interdimensional visitation narrative.
The game is fairly shot, showcasing a neat puzzle about numerology through different interactive elements. Some attention needs to be paid to the text from different locations, and some translation of numbers is necessary to unlock the puzzle. Then parts fall naturally where they should, and it's fairly simple to reach the end.
The moral of this game is: don't mess with time.
A super ironic thing that happened: I got the French Revolution as the event to fix up.

I just posted a thread on the history of colonialism and ongoing oppressive Indonesian occupation of West Papua. If you have time, please read the educational slides. This is absolutely horrendous, and has been going on for decades. The Indonesian government and military must be held accountable. Free West Papua.
